Chapter 399: Preliminary Determination

At this time, there was silence in the Qianqing Palace, only the sound of breathing on both sides that became extremely rapid due to excitement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At this time, only Wei Mingxu, Wei Mingmu and Wei Yingxiang were left in the palace, as well as the sabre-rattling ministers who supported different parties.

Until the Queen Mother led Lin Zhixuan and walked in with Wei Yanxian in her arms.

Mu Taichu frowned and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the queen mother is not good to stay in the harem, at this moment, what is the matter with running to the previous dynasty?"

The Queen Mother walked in slowly, not slowly, and said: "The mourning family heard that there is a meeting in the Qianqing Palace today to discuss the matter of supporting the new monarch, but I always think that there will be no one here anyway!"

"Oh, who's missing?" asked Mu Taichu.

The queen mother replied: "The state has a prince, and the first emperor died, and he succeeded to the throne as the crown prince." Now, only your and other important ministers are arguing here, but they don't see the prince to greet you, what is the reason?"

At this moment, the Manchu dynasty was in an uproar.

Lin Zhixuan sneered in her heart, I am afraid that it was at this time that these ministers remembered that the original state had a prince.

Wei Yanxian moved uneasily in Lin Zhixuan's arms, his eyes were always firmly fixed on the Queen Mother, staring at the old woman who was taking the throne for him.

Lin Zhixuan frowned, he is still just a child, what can a child understand? But does this child really not understand anything?

What everything in front of her means in the eyes of this little child, Lin Zhixuan didn't know after all.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not dead?" Wang Jingsheng's eyes lit up, looking at the little child with acne marks on his face in Lin Zhixuan's arms.

How did Mu Taichu respond, he only said: "The prince is just a six-year-old child, and now the country is in chaos, how can a small child help the building to fall." Besides, the crown prince is infected with smallpox, which is an incurable disease, and now the most important thing in the Great Zhou Dynasty is peace.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Under the careful care of the mourning family, the prince has been cured of smallpox, and will no longer be affected by smallpox." However, Lord Mu is also right, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is small and cannot manage the affairs of the court, it is best for the two regent princes, Prince Jing Wei Mingxu and Prince Zhuang Wei Yingxiang, to assist the government and jointly manage the affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When Yanxian grew up, he immediately returned to politics. ā€

This proposal was extremely unexpected by the participants, and even Wei Mingshan and Wei Yanting, who had just left, heard the news and rushed back.

The princes sat down again and began to discuss the Queen Mother's proposal.

The first to waver was Wang Jingsheng, and for him, Wei Yanting had nothing to do with him, and Wei Yanting's succession to the throne was just their royalist party obeying the emperor's orders and being loyal to the emperor.

But Wei Yanxian was completely different.

His only queen Chu Nan married Xie Wendong, and the Xie family of Wuying Marquis was the prince's foreign family, and if the prince succeeded to the throne, the Xie family would definitely prosper, and he could form a party with himself, and his position in the court would be very different.

At this time, Wei Yanting had the support of the Mu family, and he supported them only because he had always been at odds with Wei Mingxu and was lured by Mu Guifei. When Wei Yanting really takes power in the future, with the backing of the Mu family, who knows if he will unload the mill and kill the donkey, and Wei Yanting's many actions have made Wang Jingsheng shameful.

Wang Jingsheng's vacillation made Mu Taichu and Wei Yanting fall into a very passive situation. The other old ministers who shouted that they would not establish a son were also speechless this time.

Wei Yanting withdrew early, originally to provoke the generals, but so far he found that it was self-defeating, but seeing that this proposal had already suppressed the forces of all parties, even Wang Jingsheng had been shaken, but he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't be the emperor's chagrin, so he had to swallow it in his stomach. As for the status of the Prince Regent, he is still young and cannot be compared with Wei Mingxu and others, and the other is only a county king, so he is naturally not qualified.

For Wei Mingxu, facing the cabinet ministers in front of him, facing the current situation that will lead to a big war if it is not good, this is also a good ending, although he was forced to give up the throne, but as an auxiliary prince, he can share the power of the country with Wei Yingxiang, and for a considerable period of time, his status can be similar to that of the emperor, although it is nameless but in fact, it is also good.

As for Wei Yingxiang, who initially praised the establishment of Wei Yanting, he was originally just a statement, but now he has become an auxiliary prince, and he has tasted the sweetness greatly, so he naturally will not speak out against it.

Moreover, he is not even interested in Wei Mingshan's throne, not to mention the position of a regent, he still has the righteousness of the country in his heart, and he only hopes to turn the war into a jade silk, so that the Great Zhou Dynasty can settle down first, and he can have a little room for respite, so of course there is no objection to this.

Wang Jingsheng stopped talking, the Wei Mingxu brothers and Wei Yingxiang were among them, they were the biggest beneficiaries, and they couldn't speak, looking at the silence in the hall, the smell of gunpowder that was about to break out had also disappeared.

Wei Mingshan hurriedly stood up, it was good to be able to settle down early, without delay, it would change later. Wei Mingshan immediately summoned all the princes and nobles waiting outside, and the ministers of civil and military affairs entered the hall and preached: "The heavenly throne cannot be empty for a long time, and the prince Wei Yanxian of Fuguan will favor the heavens, and Changfu will respond to the agreement, and it will be decided to work together to win the throne of the emperor." We will wait for the princes to discuss and declare it to heaven and earth. ā€

Wei Ming ordered the emperor to close his ministers, and led the minister of the guard, Wang Jingsheng, to write an edict to the world. As for the ceremony, they will be discussed later, and everyone seems to be impatient to leave this place.

Lin Zhixuan lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms who seemed to be just ignorant from beginning to end, overnight, but the Queen Mother said three or two words, and he changed from a forgotten orphan to the king of a country.

At this time, the overall situation has been decided, and today's court meeting, with twists and turns, is now considered a success, not a single soldier has been moved, but most people are satisfied. Except for the Mu family's party, the rest of the people can be regarded as full of returns. The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and the strings that had been tight gradually relaxed.

A turmoil is over for the time being.

But if you look at the wind and clouds that are gradually pressing down outside, you can know that this is just the beginning, and the blizzard is still to come.

When the tense hall that caused people to sweat became empty and deserted again, the Queen Mother walked in front of Wei Mingxu and Wei Mingmu, sighed, and said: "That's all my mother can do, and the rest of the matter can only rely on your brothers." ā€

The Queen Mother's words were obviously blaming Wei Mingmu, and the moment he suddenly jumped out, he almost cut off Wei Mingxu's emperor road.

Lin Zhixuan felt that Wei Mingxu's expression was a little weird, Lin Zhixuan couldn't tell what it tasted like, Wei Mingxu was just silent for a while, but he didn't blame, and only said to the Queen Mother: "My son is not filial, so let my mother bother." In the future, the three of us brothers will work together. ā€

Wei Mingmu had a cold face, looking more unwilling and excited than Wei Mingxu.
